1954 Topps Scoops |
1954 Topps Scoops squeezes 1,000 years of history into a sharp (156) card set.
The cards, slightly smaller 2-1/16" x 2-15/16", were released in (2)
(78) card series. Each card had a colorful painting and caption
with date on front. Some were issued with a scratch-off area meant
hiding the headline so some cards are found with and without the
coating.
1954 Scoops covered many major events & people throughout history.
Mostly a non-sports set, many top sports stars like Babe Ruth,
Jesse Owens, Notre Dame's Four Horsemen, Joe Louis, Bob Feller
and Ben Hogan were included.
Backs are similar to a newspaper's front page with newspaper's name,
headline, date & location at top. The set seemed to focus on
disasters like the San Francisco Earthquake, Fire Sweeps Chicago,
Rome Burned, Pompeii Destroyed (#91); and wars: Battleship Maine
Blown Up, Alamo Falls, U.S. Troops Reach France, World War II
Begins, Victory in Europe & Napoleon Loses at Waterloo plus many
other events that shaped the world.
1969 Topps Football Four-in-One |
Thru the late 1960's, early 1970's, Topps continued to try new
things as test issues and inserts. 1969 was no different and
along came the 1969 Topps Football Four-in-Ones. Each card was a
perforated panel of (4) mini-cards. Special mini-card albums were
also issued as inserts to hold the mini-cards. Each album had room
for a complete team set of (10) mini-cards. 
There was one variation in which print color and background on
Bill Triplett's and Charlie Johnson's mini-cards varied.
Interestingly, a few of the players on these mini-cards never
appeared on their own regular card . 
1986 Topps Baseball Cards |
Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value, others go up and some can even become very valuable. Card values are based on many factors: player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest. A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.
Q: What are some ways to collect cards ?
* Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears),
players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George &
Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)
"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue.
On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common
while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
